DEVELOPMENT THIS IS OUR HEARING
FOR APRIL SECOND TWENTY EIGHTEEN
WE HAVE FOR BILLS ON OUR FILE
TODAY.
WE DO NOT HAVE ANY BILLS
PROPOSE FOR CONSENT AND I SEE
SENATOR MORLOCK IS HERE. TO WE
WILL BEGIN AS A SUBCOMMITTEE
BEFORE ESTABLISHING A QUORUM AND
WE WILL MOVE TO ITEM NUMBER TWO.
S. B. ELEVEN FIFTY NINE SENATOR
MORE LIKE WELCOME.
SENATOR.
CHAIR.
GOOD DEATH GIVE.
START THE BALL ROLLING ON BILLS
OF.
I SAW COLLEAGUES THANKS FOR THIS
OPPORTUNITY TO.
.
YOU KNOW LEAST INDULGE ME A
LITTLE BIT ON A UNIQUE APPROACH
TO ENCOURAGE RETIRED OR RETIRING
CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS.
SERVE IN THE LEGISLATURE.
THIS BILL WAS AYE INSTIGATED
SHORTLY AFTER.
.
I WAS ELECTED BY CONGRESSMAN
BRAD SHERMAN HE AND I ARE BOTH
CPAC PACKED WITH HIGH SCHOOL.
GROUND AMONG HIGH SCHOOL IN MY
DISTRICT.
BUT WE'RE BOTH INACTIVE.
AS WE'VE BEEN LOOKING AT.
A GOOD WAITED TO DEAL WITH WITH
THIS AND I'LL EXPLAIN.
I WON CPA'S.
IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN THEIR
LICENSE HAVE TO.
ACQUIRED EIGHTY HOURS EVERY TWO
WEEKS OF CONTINUING
PROFESSIONAL.
EDUCATION EIGHTY HOURS EVERY TWO
YEARS WHO'S BEEN I SAID WE
EXCITEMENT YEARS.
AND SO IT IS TWO WEEKS OF OF
YOUR LIFE EVERY EVERY TWO YEARS.
CP AS ARE ALSO REQUIRED TO MAKE
SURE THEY GET TWO HOURS OF.
WHAT WE CALL ETHICS TRAINING
INSIDE THOSE EIGHTY HOURS JUST
LIKE LEGISLATORS ARE REQUIRED TO
DO THE SAME?
SO THIS IS THE CASE EVEN IF
YOU'RE NOT PRACTICING SO I
MAINTAIN MY LICENSE FOR NEARLY
TWENTY YEARS AFTER LEAVING MY
PRACTICE.
AS A PARTNER FOR TEN YEARS ARE
ALTHOUGH I NEVER PRACTISED I
NEVER HAD A CLIENTS.
I NEVER ENGAGED IN ANY TAX OR
AUDIT WORK.
AND I FINALLY CAME TO A POINT
WHERE I I DECIDED NOT TO TAKE
COURSES ANYMORE BECAUSE THERE
WAS NO.
REAL BENEFIT OTHER THAN
MAINTAINING THREE LETTERS BEHIND
MY NAME.
SO I BECAME INACTIVE.
.
A LOT OF US THAT ARE INACTIVE WE
DON'T JUST WANT TO PUT CPA THEN
IN PARENTHESES ARE ET LIKE A.
RETIRED MILITARY OR RETIRED OR
INACTIVE.
SO.
LAWYERS WITH MAYOR IN THE
LEGISLATURE.
THEY ARE EXEMPTED FROM
CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL
EDUCATION IT'S A SPECIFIC CODE.
SO WHILE THEY'RE HERE THEY CAN.
STILL CONTINUE PRACTICING AND
NOT HAVE TO TAKE ANY COURSES
WHICH IS.
KIND OF NICE BECAUSE YOU KNOW
THE HOURS WE PUT IT IT'S REALLY
HARD TO FIND. THOSE EIGHTY HOURS
EVER EVERY TWO YEARS.
SO HOW DID TO ADDRESS THE
DISPARITY SO CONGRESSMAN BRAD
SHERMAN AND I'VE BEEN WORKING
WITH THE CALIFORNIA STATE BOARD
OF ACCOUNTANCY WE'VE BEEN
TALKING FOR A COUPLE YEARS
TRYING TO. THINK OF IDEAS AND SO
THIS BILL IS SORT OF THE
GERMINATION OF OF THAT.
.
WE'RE SAYING THAT A CPA. WHO'S
RETIRED CAN.
PUT THE CPA BEHIND HIS NAME ON
THE LETTERHEAD.
BUT YOU CANNOT PRACTICE.
AND HE CANNOT BILL.
I'M AND.
IF YOU KNOW HE'S JUST OR HERE
SHE ARE JUST USING THE CPA WHILE
THEY ARE IN THE LEGISLATURE
EITHER THE STATE OR AT THE
FEDERAL LEVEL.
SO.
I AM I THINK IT'S KIND OF A
CLEAN AND SIMPLE SOLUTION TO
WHAT WERE TRYING TO LOOK FOR.
AYE I MAINTAIN MY GUYS HAVE MY
LICENSE OUT FOR ABOUT TWENTY
YEARS.
AND. I WHICH SIDE BOMB GOING
BACK TO PRIVATE SECTOR THIS IS A
TEMPORARY. KIND OF PUBLIC
SERVICE DEAL FOR ME. AND IF IT
BECAME A POINT WHERE I JUST
COULD NOT.
KEEP IT UP ANYMORE GOT AUDITED I
HAD EIGHTY HOURS.
AND OF THE. REPRESENTATIVE FROM
THE STATE BOARD SAID WE NEED ALL
YOUR SUPPORT AND I PROVIDED
THAT.
IF YOU WANT MORE SUPPORT MY
SAID.
YOU KNOW THIS IS TIME STEPPED IN
I SAID.
IT'S HARD TO KEEP UP WITH THIS.
WHAT IF I WAS GOING ACTIVITIES
AS WELL THIS AUDIT ENDS THE
MINUTE YOU SIGNED UP FOR?
SO THAT'S THAT'S HOW I
TRANSITIONED OUT BUT TARA I
HAVEN'T PREPARED A TAX RETURN IN
TWENTY THREE YEARS ARE EVEN
PREPARE MY OWN.
I HAVEN'T DONE AN AUDIT OR BEEN
IMAGINE ON A HOT A PARTNER WHICH
IS WHAT I GET A LOT AUDIT
CLIENTS.
WINNERS PRACTICING HAVEN'T DONE
ANY OF THOSE SO WHY ATTEND
CONFERENCES IF YOU'RE NOT GONNA
BILL NOT GONNA WORK BUT YOU
WORKED REALLY HARD TO PASS AN
EXAM. AND AND MAINTAIN IT.
BOB AND WILL YOU KNOW WHY WOULD
I GIVE UP TWO WEEKS OF MY LIFE
AS I'M.
BUSY ENOUGH JUST TRYING TO.
HER CARRY THE LOAD HERE.
SOME ATTORNEYS BASED TO GET TO
PRACTICE WHILE THEY'RE HERE
THEY'RE OF COUNSEL ON FIRMS.
AND.
PROVIDES THEM. AT ANY INCOME SO
SO WHY THE BILL. A IT WOULD BE
NICE TO BE ABLE TO DISPLAY ON
LETTERHEAD WELL I'M HERE IN THE
IN THE SENATE THAT I AM A
CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT.
SORT OF SHORTENS MY STORY.
YOU KNOW JUST TO HAVE TO EXPLAIN
TO EVERYBODY THAT I'M TRAINED AS
AN ACCOUNTANT AND NOW HERE I.
YOU KNOW HAVE TO EXPLAIN THAT
I'M A CPA.
THE CP IS IS ONLY
RELEVANT IF IF IF I HAD A CLOCK
ON ACTIVE CLIENT BASE WHICH I
DON'T.
I COULD TAKE MAYBE COURSES ON
CANNABIS WHICH IS A NEW. A FIELD
THAT'S OPENING UP FOR
EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES BUT.
AN EIGHT HOUR COURSE AND I DON'T
WANT TAKE TEN OF THOSE ON
CANNABIS.
SO.
MY FOCUS HAS BEEN.
BASICALLY ON HIS PALLET HE'S
CERTAINLY WOULD QUALIFY FOR
HOURS IF IT WERE GRANTED FROM MY
SERVICE ON GOVERNANCE AND
FINANCE COMMITTEE BUDGET FISCAL
REVIEW. A PUBLIC EMPLOYMENT
RETIREMENT NOW INSURANCE. BUT
HONESTLY.
I ACTUALLY QUALIFY FOR MORE THAN
THE EIGHTY HOURS IS DOING DOING
THAT SO FOR.
MYSELF IN FOR FOR.
CONGRESSMAN SHERMAN WE KINDA
LIKE TO GET PAST THIS INACTIVE.
STATUS ARE AFTER HE LEAVES THE
SENATE SHOULD I ELECT TO RETURN
TO THE CPA FEEL I WOULD THEN
HAVE TO.
CATCH UP MY CP .
OUR A AND M. RENEW MY LICENSE IN
FULL STANDING.
SO THE REAL BENEFITS ARE ARE
TWOFOLD.
ONE WE CAN HAVE UP MY
PROFESSION A OBSERVED.
IT. AND THAT I COULD BE A CPA
IN SACRAMENTO. AND I THINK TO IT
WOULD ENCOURAGE OTHER CPA'S TO
BE INVOLVED BECAUSE IT'S A BIG
TIME COMMITMENT TO BE ELECTED
OFFICIALS YOU KNOW.
AND. TAKE ON ALL THE TIME TO TO
ATTEND ALL THE COURSES TO
MAINTAIN.
THE DESIGNATION.
ARE THE CALIFORNIA CPA AND AICPA
WHICH I'M A DUES PAYING MEMBER
OF BOTH.
ALSO ENCOURAGE MORE CPA'S TO GET
INVOLVED IN THE PUBLIC SQUARE
AND I THINK COLLEAGUES THAT S.
B. ELEVEN FIFTY NINE IS A NICE
PATCH TO PROVIDE A SMALL. MOVE
ON ACHIEVING A PARITY WITH THE
LEGAL PROFESSION TO GIVE CPA'S
THE ABILITY TO FULLY CONCENTRATE
ON THE PEOPLE'S BUSINESS AND
HOPEFULLY.
ENCOURAGE MORE CPA'S TO
PARTICIPATE IN THE INDUSTRY AND
I.
REQUEST AN AYE VOTE BAKE YOU
SENATOR MORLOCK ARE THERE OTHERS
OR IS THERE ANYONE HERE IN
SUPPORT.
OF SENATOR MORE LIKE BILL TO
ANYONE HERE IN OPPOSITION.
SEEING NO ONE BRING BACK TO THE
GREATER QUESTION SENATOR DOT.
YES SIR MORE LIKE.
I'VE APPRECIATED YOU OVER THE
YEARS.
.
YOU KNOW WHETHER WAS WHEN I WAS
IN THE ASSEMBLY OR HERE TALKING
ABOUT FISCAL ACCOUNTABILITY. I
UNDERSTAND YOU HAVE A PERSONAL
ISSUE HERE.
.
BUT TO SAVE YOU PERSONALLY THREE
HUNDRED DOLLARS A YEAR.
PLUS SOMETIME YOU WANT.
IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE.
.
COST OF RUNNING A BILL THROUGH
THE LEGISLATURE'S AROUND TEN
THOUSAND DOLLARS.
YEAH I JUST WONDER HOW.
YOU HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT THAT IN
TERMS OF.
.
THE OTHER COSTS OF RUNNING THIS
BILL GETTING THIS BILL THROUGH
AND.
IN WHO REALLY AT THE END OF THE
DAY. WHO BENEFITS BY THIS?
TWO PEOPLE.
THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION SENATOR
DIED.
.
IT TO ACTUALLY TO TAKE A GOOD
GUY CONFERENCE LET'S SAY AN
EIGHT HOUR. AS CAMP
I COULD CUT.
.
PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION
CONFERENCE IT'S ABOUT THREE
HUNDRED A DAY.
SO YOU YOU MULTIPLY THAT BY
EIGHT AND SO IT'S A LITTLE BIT
MORE FOR A CPA TO. GET THAT THAT
EDUCATION.
IT DOES MAYBE THE SECOND POINT
DOES SEEM A LITTLE SELF SERVING.
SO I APPRECIATE YOUR BRINGING
THAT UP OF FOR ME.
IT'S.
MORE OF A A SENSE OF THE FACT
THAT THERE ARE A COUPLE OF US IN
CALIFORNIA THAT ARE.
IN THE LEGISLATURE BUT DON'T
HAVE THE TIME TO DO THAT
CONTINUE PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION.
SO ITS MORE OF A AS A TEAM
EFFORT WITH ME AND CONGRESSMAN
SHERMAN.
.
IT'S NOT AB.
BIG DEAL.
ARCHER DOT ORG KNOW MINIMIZER
BUT IT'S NOT LIKE IT LIFE OR
DEATH THING FOR ME IT'S JUST
MORE OF A. AN OPPORTUNITY THAT
TO BE ABLE AT THE OTHER DAY TO
ENCOURAGE CPA'S TO PARTICIPATE.
AND SO RIGHT NOW IT'S TWO MAYBE
IN THE FUTURE THREE FOUR. FIVE.
I'D THAT'S THAT'S BASICALLY THE
MOTIVATION.
SENATOR DODD SENATOR CAN.
THEN SENATOR NEWMAN.
THANK YOU SARAH MORAL AKA AYE
TOUMA LICENSED PROFESSIONAL IN
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. NOR TO
MAINTAIN AN ACTIVE LICENSE HAVE
TO DO MY.
CONTINUING EDUCATION AS WELL. AS
WANT TO CLARIFY.
UNDER THIS BILL DOES NOT FROM
LISTENER TEST MY.
BUT IF YOU DON'T DO YOUR
CONTINUE EDUCATION YOU ARE STILL
AN ACTIVE BUT IF YOU ARE A
MEMBER OF CONGRESS OR MEMBERS
THE LEGISLATURE YOU
JUST DON'T HAVE TO PUT AN ACTIVE
AFTER YOUR NAME BUT YOU STILL
CAN'T PRACTICE.
UNTIL YOU DO YOUR.
CAN YOU EDUCATION IS THAT
CORRECT RIGHT OKAY.
SO I GUESS THE OTHER. THING
THAT WOULD MAKE NOTE THAT THE
AUTHOR OF THE LAW THAT LEADS TO
THIS REQUIREMENT ACTUALLY IS A.
WAS A PREDECESSOR MINE IN THE
STATE ASSEMBLY.
ASSEMBLY MEMBER IRAQ NEAL WHO
ACTUALLY I BELIEVE HIMSELF OF
THE CPA AND.
WAS I THINK PASSING THAT LAW AT
THAT TIME IN TWO THOUSAND NINE
TO MAKE IT CONSISTENT WITH WHAT
THE PROFESSION REQUESTED.
.
SO I GUESS THE ISSUE I HAVE AND
MAYBE YOU CAN HELP CLARIFY THIS
IS IS THAT.
I'VE.
IF THE STANDARD ACROSS THE BOARD
IS TO SAY IF YOUR CPAP PUT AN
ACTIVE TO BE SURE THAT AS A
CONSUMER PROTECTIONS I ASSUME
THAT'S WHY THE PROFESSION WANTS
IT.
THAT.
.
I DON'T WANT THERE TO BE
CONFUSION IN THE PUBLIC NOT THAT
I THINK THAT YOU ARE SO THAT OUR
CONGRESSMEN SURE MEN ARE SOME
FUTURE. OFFICIAL WITH INTENT TO
DECEIVE THE PUBLIC ABOUT YOUR
ACTUAL STATUS A CPA BUT.
IF YOU'RE INACTIVE.
AND EVERYONE OTHER CPA SAYING AN
ACTIVE IF LEAST IN IF YOU'RE IN
IN THE SETTING IN WHICH YOU
WOULD ACTUALLY USE USE THE SITE
TO CHOOSE TO PRACTICE YOUR
PROFESSION OF.
THAT BEING A CPA WHILE SERVING
IN THE LEGISLATURE IF YOU HAPPEN
TO FIND SOME LOW EXTRA TIME TO
DO THAT. THAT THERE IS CLARITY
THAT IF YOU ARE AN ACTIVE YOUR
INACTIVE YOU SHOULD BE DOING
THAT BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT
EVERYONE ELSE IN THE CITY WORLD
IS DOING SO SUPPOSE YOUR PARTNER
IN A CPA FIRM Y. YOU'RE SERVING
THE LEGISLATURE FOR SOME REASON
AND.
YOU AND I BELIEVE LAW ALLOWS YOU
TO STILL PRACTICES THAT
EPA IF YOU WISH TO.
BUT YOU WOULD THEN HAVE TO AND
THAT DOES TERM SHOULD.
SAY YOU'RE ENACTED BECAUSE
THAT'S WHAT OTHER EVERY OTHER
CPA AS IF YOU JUST CHOSE NOT TO
CONTINUING EDUCATION VERSUS. I
GET THE ANALYST'S ABILITY OF.
STATE LEGISLATORS OUR
CONGRESSPEOPLE YOU KNOW IF YOU
ARE. INDICATE YOUR CPA ON THAT
LIST YOU DON'T HAVE TO PUT AN
ACTIVE AFTER EVERY SINGLE TIME
IT'S AS YOU KNOW JOHN SENATOR
JOHN MORLOCK CPA AND ACTIVE.
SO I COULD SEE IF IT'S IN THAT
CONTEXT OF JUST
IDENTIFY YOURSELF AND YOUR
PROFESSIONAL.
BACKGROUND IN A LIST OF STATE
OFFICIALS ARE ELECTED OFFICIALS
I CAN SEE IN THAT SENSE BECAUSE
YOU'RE NOT PUT YOURSELF FOURTH
AS A ACTIVE PRACTITIONER.
WHERE'D THAT MIGHT NOT BE.
THAT'S IS NECESSARY BUT I THINK
I'D BE CAUTIOUS ABOUT A
SITUATION WHERE.
EVEN THOUGH YOU ELECTED OFFICIAL
BUT YOU'RE PAYING YOURSELF FOR
ALSO AS AN ACTOR IT'S A.
THAT IS AN ACTIVE PRACTICE WE
ACTIVELY CPA WORK THAT PEOPLE.
SHOULD KNOW.
ADD THAT YOU'RE INACTIVE BECAUSE
THAT'S WHAT THE REST OF THE
PROFESSION ALSO HAS TO DO SO
PERHAPS YOU CAN CLARIFY THAT.
WELL I'M I APPRECIATE THE
QUESTION CENTER PAN BECAUSE
YOU'RE ALSO DOCTOR PAN. SO YOU
AND I BOTH HAVE SAID TO PURSUE
LICENSES AND MAINTAIN THEM.
SO YOU KIND OF APPRECIATE AT THE
TIME COMMITMENT THAT'S INVOLVED.
AND SO FOR ME I WAS MAKING THAT
COMMITMENT FOR QUITE SOME TIME.
AND AND FINALLY JUST GOT NEED A
LITTLE EXASPERATED.
WITH ALL.
SO M..
I GUESS WHAT I'M LOOKING VERY
SOME PARITY WE HAVE COLLEAGUES
CENTER AB JD BEHIND THEIR NAMES.
AND THEY DON'T HAVE TO DO ANY
CP . AND THEY CAN PRACTICE
WHILE THEY'RE HERE. OZ SO
THERE'S A SOMEWHERE UPPER A AN
EXCEPTION THAT HAS BEEN MADE.
OF FOR LAWYERS AS SO I
APPRECIATE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING
BUT I'M KINDA SAN WELL ALSO IT
WOULD BE GOOD THAT WE WERE
CONSISTENT.
BUT YOU KNOW WITH ALL.
LICENSING.
BOARDS AND.
STATE BOARDS THAT OVERSEE OUR
PROFESSIONS AND REQUIRE. THAT
THE EDUCATION MANDATE.
OKAY I ALSO THAT THAT THE
ATTORNEYS ALSO GET DISCOUNT ON
THE BAR FEES ARE JUST
LEGISLATORS BUT I DON'T GET ONE
IS A LICENSED PHYSICIAN BUT
THAT'S ANOTHER CLEAR A BILL
IDEA.
YEAH.
I THINK I THINK.
THINK THEIR BAR THEIR BARS.
DUES ARE ACTUALLY PAID BY YOU
BY OUT OF THE BLOCK GRANTS OUT
OF EACH SENATORS OFFICE FOR
ATTORNEYS.
A BEFORE WE GO TO SENATOR NEWMAN
FORGET ESTABLISH A QUORUM PLEASE
PLEASE CALL THE ROLL.
HEALTH HERE BILL HERE FULLER
HERE FULLER HERE DOT. DOT HERE
GALGIANI GLAZER HERNANDEZ
HERNANDEZ HERE NEWMAN HERE
NEWMAN HERE PAN HERE AND HERE
WILL.
BOTH HERE VERY GOOD WE'VE
ESTABLISHED A QUORUM NOW SENATOR
NEWMAN.
SEVEN MORE LIKE GIVES YOU. AB SO
I'VE ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS COOL
I'D THAT WE HAD WITHIN OUR FORTY
WE HAD A CERTIFIED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTANT AND I THINK YOU HAD.
A GREAT DEAL OF VALUE.
AND I THINK ASSEMBLY MEMBER
PROPER OF FORMER ASSEMBLYMEMBER
PHEROMONES ALSO SOURCES SHEEP IS
IRAQ.
BOB BUT AM INTRIGUED BY AT THE
I GUESS YOUR LINE OF REASONING
IS IS IS IT YOUR SENSE THAT
BECAUSE.
S. EPA'S CAN'T MAINTAIN THAT
DESIGNATION IS THAT WHY WE DON'T
HAVE MORE CPA'S RUNNING FOR
PUBLIC OFFICE BECAUSE IT. MADE
IT ONE OF YOUR GOALS HERE IS TO
ENCOURAGE MORE CPA'S TO
PARTICIPATE.
SO JUST IT TO GIVE YOU COULD
ELABORATE LIVE DOWN THERE IS A
MUCH RIGHT FOLLOW.
WELL I'M THIS WEEKEND OF
PERSONAL BUT.
YOU AND I ARE ENJOYING A SALARY
THAT'S A LOT LESS THAN WHAT
PERHAPS A PRACTICING CPA WOULD
BE MAKING.
THIS IS CERTAINLY A PAY CUT FOR
ME I ENJOYING THIS ROLE.
SO YOU HAVE SOME ARRIERS THAT
ARE SORT OF DISCOURAGING
INDIVIDUALS AND SO THEN TO ADD
TO THAT THE COST OF HAVING TO
TAKE THE COURSES EVERY TWO
YEARS.
MAYBE SOME TWENTY FIVE HUNDRED
AND THAT YOU CAN FIND SOME CHEAP
COURSES.
AS SUMMER.
I WOULD THINK IT'S A
DISINCENTIVE AND SO I'M TRYING
TO AT LEAST.
ADDRESS ONE HURDLE THAT WOULD
ENCOURAGE MORE CPA'S SHOWED THAT
HURDLE IS CASE IS THE COST OF
THE CP .
CORRECT.
BUT THE WOMEN WERE NOT REALLY
ADDRESSING THAT HERE WE ARE
GIVING IT A WAIVER IN THE
FUTURE.
BUT TO TO YOUR POINT I MEAN WE
OUT WE MADE MORE THE MEDIAN
INCOME I THINK THAT'S TRUE.
SO I I'M NOT SURE IT WAS BUT I
SEE.
IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKELY TO ME
THAT WE'RE GOING TO GET A. A
STAMPEDE OF ACCOUNTANTS
RUNNING IN THE VARIOUS
DISTRICTS.
THAT APPLIED AND IN SOME WAYS I
WISH WE WOULD.
BUT I'M NOT SURE THIS WILL HAVE
THAT EFFECT SO DOESN'T.
YOU AND I SHARE A ABOUT YOUR
WANTING TO KNOW WHAT WE MIGHT
WANT DEMOCRATIC ACCOUNT ON THIS.
WHO SPORT WITHOUT WINNING
CONGRESS?
YEAH.
ALRIGHT WELL THANK YOU FOR YOUR
TESTIMONY.
THANK YOU SENATOR NEWMAN.
FOR YOU TO A. DOCTOR AND YEAH.
SO.
MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT IF
YOU'RE A CPA AND YOU'RE IN AN
ACTIVE THEN IN YOUR LICENSE IT
HAS TO SHOW AN INACTIVE STATUS
IS THAT CORRECT RIGHT.
BUT YOU'RE ASKING IS THAT IF
YOU'RE A CONGRESSMAN OR A
LEGISLATOR THAT THAT IF YOU'RE
AN ACTIVE.
CPA THAT IT DOES NOT SHOW THAT
CORRECT RIGHT OKAY.
BUT THERE'S STILL AN ACTIVE.
CURRENTLY IN THEIR INACTIVE THEY
DON'T HAVE TO TAKE
THE E. SET FOR UNTIL A
REACTIVATE AND RUNNING A TO DO
YOU KNOW THEY CAN'T THEY CAN'T
PRACTICING UNKNOWN I I GET I
GET.
SO I MEAN.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS.
DETERMINAR YOU AN ACTIVE CPR IN
OUR YOU AN INACTIVE I'M INACTIVE
YOUR ENACT OKAY AND WHAT WAS
WHAT'S THE PURPOSE JUST BECAUSE
YOU DON'T WANT TO PAY FOR THE C.
E. IS.
NO ACTUALLY. I MEAN IT'S NOT
JUST GUY.
CURIOUS WHAT IT WHAT ONE IT'S
NOT ONLY THE COST BUT THE TIME
IS A IS A BIG EXPENSE TO TAKING
EIGHTY HOURS.
AND SO THERE ARE AT LEAST TWO
OF US IN CALIFORNIA KIND OF
SAID.
MAYBE IT WOULD BE EIGHTY HOURS
EVERY TWO YEARS EVER HEAR EVERY
TWO YEARS FORTY HOURS HERE.
AND SO SO THAT'S THAT'S A BIG
TIME COMMITMENT AS WELL AND WHEN
YOU'RE NOT PRACTICING IT'S
YOU KNOW IT WHEN YOU YOU'RE ALSO
LICENSES WEALTH YOU CAN.
APPRECIATE YOU KNOW WHY TAKE
COURSES WE'RE NOT GONNA TAX
RETURNS
OR DO AUDITS.
OR RE EVEN DO MANAGEMENT
CONSULTANTS.
WELL FOR INFORMATION I'M LICENSE
I'M ACTIVE IN A TAKE MAY SEE
AND I DON'T MIND PAYING
FOR IT AND AS BUSY AS I AM THIS
YEAR ESPECIALLY I MANAGED TO GET
ALL MY HOURS AND SO. YOU KNOW I
DIDN'T I'M TRYING I DID IT FOR
TWENTY YEARS I'VE BEEN DOING IT
FOR THOSE SINCE I'VE BEEN IN THE
LEGISLATURE DOESN'T BOTHER ME AT
ALL YOU'RE WONDERING. WHY I KNOW
I AM SOMETHING? THAT.
IT'S JUST.
ATTY. AND I'M JUST I'M TRYING TO
WRAP MY HEAD AROUND SOMETHING
THAT.
I DON'T SEE A LOT OF VALUE TO
I'M JUST SORRY I DON'T I DON'T
FEEL THE FACT THAT YOU'RE GOING
TO HAVE AN ACTIVE OR NOT AN ACT
OF A SEE ABSOLUTELY NO.
POLICY VALUE TO THAT WHATSOEVER
AND I DON'T SEE THE. REASONING
FOR YOU KNOW RUNNING VEILED
OFFENSES THAT IT WOULD ACTUALLY.
GET MORE ACCOUNTANTS TO WANT TO
RUN FOR OFFICE.
I MEAN I I CHOSE TO RUN BECAUSE
I WANTED TO BUT YET I STILL WANT
TO KEEP MY MY LICENSE I'M. I'M
ASSUMING YOU ARE AS WELL. I YOU
KNOW. I GOING TO WEEKEND TO TAKE
MY COURSES AND I MEAN THAT ARE
USED TO PRACTICING.
I'M NO.
THE NOTE NO BUILDINGS NO
PATIENCE I I CAN'T I DON'T HAVE
TIME WHO HAVE WELL I W.
SAMPRADAYA EMBARRASSED BECAUSE I
I VALUE MY LIFE BRINGS THAT
MATCH RIGHT THAT'S WHY I
CONTINUE TO BUT. SEE I WANT TO
THE RENTAL AGENCY BECAUSE THEY
CHOSE TO DO IT AND I CHOOSE TO
HAVE MY LICENSE LONG SO I I
GUESS I. AM AND I'M JUST.
I DON'T SEE A LOT OF VALUE TO.
THIS PARTICULAR.
AND I'VE GOT NO OFFENSE TAKEN
YEAH THERE FULLER.
SO. IS THERE ANY OTHER
LICENSURE.
SITUATION THAT YOU KNOW OF THAT
HAS TO PUT AN ACTIVE.
ON THEIR.
STUFF CARDS WHATEVER.
A WHEN THEY WERE IN THE
LEGISLATURE.
THAT'S QUICK QUESTION I AM NOT
SURE MAYBE SENATOR HERNANDEZ ARE
SENATOR PAN MIGHT MIGHT KNOW IF
THEY GO AN ACTIVE WHAT.
WELL I DON'T KNOW OF ONE I
DIDN'T I'M NOT SURE THAT HAVE
STUDIED THIS ISSUE BUT I DON'T
KNOW WHY BUT I THINK.
THAT'S THE POINT HERE THE POINT
IS IS IF THERE WERE A LOT OF THE
PEOPLE WOULD BE FAMILIAR WITH
WHAT IN ACTIVE MEANT.
IF THIS CASE I THINK BECAUSE
IT'S AN ANOMALY.
PEOPLETHINK THAT THERE'S
SOMETHING WRONG WITH SOMEONE WHO
IS AN ACTIVE.
BECAUSE THEY DON'T THERE'S NO
COMPARATIVE ALL.
IN ANY OF OUR PROFESSIONS TO
THIS EVEN THOUGH THERE'S
COMPATIBLES IN TERMS OF THE.
NUMBER OF HOURS YOU HAVE TO GET
OR THE. YOU KNOW THE TIME UP TO
PUT AN END TO USE TO STAY
CURRENT WITH THE PROFESSION.
.
SO TO ME.
I I'M MORE LIKELY LEAN FORWARD
TO TO DOING THIS BECAUSE FOR
EXAMPLE. A RETIRED
SUPERINTENDENT.
I GET FOOD SUPERINTENDENT ON
ANYTHING I WANT TO PUT ON THAT
WAS BUT RETIRED BUT EVERY KNOWS
WHAT RETIRED SUPERINTENDENT IS.
I'M NOT PUTTING SUPERINTENDENT
INACTIVE.
IN.
AND IF I DID PUT SUPER INTO AN
ACTIVE THEN I THINK THAT WOULD
THAT WOULD DISCRIMINATE AGAINST
ME IN SOME WAYS. I THINK A
PREJUDICED PEOPLE AGAINST ME IN
SOME WAYS BECAUSE THEY JUST
DON'T KNOW. AND BECAUSE IT IT
DOESN'T HAVE. DOESN'T HAVE AN
ACCEPTED DEFINITION WITHIN OUR
SOCIETY THAT'S COMMON. TO PEOPLE
THE JIM ROMANCE KNOWLEDGE SO
SENSE LEGISLATURE BRING YOU KNOW
KINDA BELONGS TO THEM POPULOUS
BLUNTING THE PEOPLE.
YOU KNOW WHAT WE CALL OURSELVES
WHEN WE DO SHOULD MAKE SENSE TO
THE PEOPLE IT SHOULD MAKE PEOPLE
UNDERSTAND THEM IN THIS CASE.
THE MY CORRECT UNDERSTAND THAT
THEY CAN LOOK YOU UP AND SEE
YOUR INACTIVE EVEN IF IT SAYS
DOESN'T SAY AN ACTIVE.
HAVE ANYWAY YOU CAN'T PRACTICE
BECAUSE WHAT YOU HAVE GOOD JAIL
SOMETHING WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU
PRACTICE WHEN YOU'RE INACTIVE
YOU WILL GET YOUR PROPER YOUR
LICENSE REVOKED PARA YOU'RE NOT
LIKELY TO BE OUT THERE
PRACTICING IN CAUSING DANGER TO
THE PUBLIC. CRACK SO IN MY MIND
THIS IS JUST A TRANSPARENCY
BILL.
A.
YEAH I I THINK THAT IT'S BETTER
TO MAKE EVERYBODY.
VIEW PEOPLE.
THROUGH THE SAME LENS THAN IT IS
TO PUT A BLOCK.
AGAINST ONE IN MAYOR MAY NOT BE
TRUE THE MORE COUNTS MAYOR MAY
NOT SIGN UP I DON'T KNOW.
.
MAYBE ONE IS ENOUGH I OUGHT AND
I AGREE WITH YOU ON THAT.
AND THAT THE SITE THAT.
I THINK THAT I'LL PROBABLY BE
VOTING FOR TRANSPARENCY IN THIS
BILL.
THANK YOU SENATOR FULLER OTHER
COMMENTS OR.
QUESTIONS AYE I GUESS THEM IS I
LOOK AT THIS I WOULD AGREE WITH
SENATOR FULLER IN THE
RESPONSIVE.
IT BASICALLY IT'S A TRANSPARENCY
IT TO ITS IN EACH ISSUE AND IT
IT REALLY CLARIFIES AND I COULD
NOT COME UP WITH A THINK ANOTHER
PROFESSION THAT REQUIRES AN
ACTIVE STATUS AFTER WITH RICKY
DOCTOR. OR WHETHER TO AN
OPTOMETRIST.
WHERE YOU WOULD HAVE TO DO THAT
IF SOMEONE WERE QUESTION OR FOR
THAT MATTER WHICH TO PREVENT
SOMEONE FROM PUTTING CPA BEHIND
IT AND NOT GOING TO SCHOOL AT
ALL?
THEN THAT'S A VIOLATION OF OF
LAW AND SOMEONE HAS TO EITHER
THEIR DO THEIR DUE DILIGENCE BUT
THERE ARE LAWS TO PROTECT THEM
JUST AS THERE ARE LAWS TO
PROTECT THIS SO I. I LOOK AT IT
IS BEING CONSISTENT WITH WHAT WE
HAVE IN THE OTHER PROFESSIONS.
AND.
NO MORE OR LESS THAN THAT AND.
I DON'T BELIEVE THAT IT'S
NECESSARY TO HAVE THE INACTIVE
STATUS.
SO DOCTOR HERNANDEZ THEN THAT I
WOULD SUGGEST AND WHEN WE REMOVE
INACTIVE FOR ALL.
EPA'S THAT AREN'T ACTED LIKE
THAT I WOULD MUCH RATHER SUPPORT
THAT AS OPPOSED TO.
SINGLING OUT INDIVIDUALS JUST
BECAUSE THEY HAPPEN TO BE
ELECTED.
MY.
I AM NOT PROPOSING THE AMENDED
THAT WAY BUT IF THAT'S THE CASE
THEN IF THAT'S THE ONLY
PROFESSION THAT LETS IF THEY
TRULY ARE INACTIVE AND THEY ARE
ALLOWED TO PRACTICE.
THEN REMOVE ALL THE ACTORS.
THAT IS OF COURSE THAT YOU CAN.
NOW I APPRECIATE THE DISCUSSION.
I UNDERSTAND AND AGAIN YOU CAN
CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG THAT THE
ORIGINAL BILL WHICH WAS AUTHORED
BY CPA BY THE WAY.
AND REPUBLICAN SEAT YEAH SUMNER
NILA I WAS BECAUSE US TO CONFORM
WITH WHAT THE PROFESSION OF.
PUBLIC ACCOUNTS HE WANTED SO
THAT WAS THERE.
DESIRE TO ENSURE TRANSPARENCY
AND.
SO HENCE THE QUESTION THAT I
ASKED YOU CENTER MORE LOCK
ABOUT.
YEAH I CAN
BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THE
PROFESSION DECIDED THAT'S WHY IT
WAS BROUGHT FORTH TO THIS
LEGISLATURE WE ADOPT AND AT
LEAST PREVIOUS LECTURE ADOPTED
ADDS PASSED IN THE LAWS BECAUSE
REFLECTED WHAT PROFESSION Y. TO
ENSURE TRANSPARENCY.
I CAN CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND I'VE
AND I CERTAINLY.
SPORTS CENTER FULLER SAYING ST
I THINK IN THE CONTEXT OF BEING
AN ELECTED OFFICIAL.
YOU SEE A CPA BECAUSE IF NOT IN
THE CONTEXT OF PROFESSIONAL
PRACTICE.
I CAN SEE SAYING WELL YOU KNOW
YOU NEED DON'T NEED TO PUT AN
ACTIVE BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT WHO
YOU'RE JUST SAYING THIS IS A
CREDENTIAL HAVE BUT IT'S NOT I'M
NOT GOING OUT PRACTICING. I
THINK IF YOU'RE USING IN THE
CONTEXT OF. PROFESSIONAL
PRACTICE LIKE I'M A PARTNER IN A
CPA FIRM IF THAT'S WHAT THE
PROFESSION SAYS WHAT YOU NEED TO
DO.
THEN I CAN SEE THAT IF YOU'RE
LISTING YOURSELF AS A MEMBER OF
THE FIRM LET'S SAY BECAUSE YOU
DECIDE YOU ARE PRACTICE ON THE
SIDE OR EVEN JUST PUTTING OUT
ADS SAYING HEY I'M GOING TO DO
SOME CPA WHERE.
THEN I THINK YOU SHOULD FOLLOW
THE STANDARDS PROFESSION THAT'S
WAY PASSED IN LAW SO. I'M
WILLING TO VOTE FOR THIS BILL
TODAY TO ALLOW YOU TO WORK ON
THAT BUT THAT'S WHAT I'D LIKE TO
SEE IF THAT'S.
ASSUMING THAT'S WHAT YOUR DESIRE
IS.
BEFORE I WOULD VOTE FOR IT ON
THE FLOOR THAT THAT
CLARIFICATION BE MADE TO
DISTINGUISH IT TOO BECAUSE I DO
I RESPECT WHAT PROFESSIONS SAYS
ABOUT HOW TO ENSURE. THAT
THERE'S CLARITY.
AND AND TRANSPARENCY FOR THE CUP
CUSTOMER RELATES TO GETTING
SECURE SERVICE.
A AND I BELIEVE THAT WITH THE
BILL IS DOING. AND STATES.
CLEARLY AT THIS POINT SO IS
THERE A FURTHER DISCUSSION.
COMMENTS.
YES NO WAY ANYWAY A QUESTION TOO
WELL WITH RESPECT TO THE BORDER
TO THE EXTENT. AS NOTED ADDED
THIS CAME THROUGH THE BORDER
RECENT IS DOES THE COUNTY BOARD
HAVE A POSITION ON THIS
PARTICULAR.
LEGISLATION THEY ACTUALLY I
VOTED WITH A SLIGHT MAJORITY
TOOK TO RECOMMEND THIS IS AS A
SUGGESTION.
SINCE IT'S BECOME LAW I DON'T
BOOK ARMED ALL ARE AS A BECOME A
BILL. I DON'T BELIEVE IT TAKEN A
POSITION YET.
YOU KNOW FOR THE QUESTION IS
THERE A MOTION.
MOTION BY SENATOR FULLER PLEASE
CALL THE ROLL.
YOU MIGHT HAVE A CLOSING
LLANBADARN ALTERNATIVE MY
APOLOGIES ó NO NO NO PROBLEM I
HAVE I JUST SORRY FOR
INTERRUPTING YOU KNOW. I'M A BIO
I APPRECIATE THE DISCUSSION AND
I APPRECIATE THE NUANCE.
I ALSO APPRECIATE THE FACT WE
HAVE TO LICENSE PROFESSIONALS
ARE ON THIS COMMITTEE WHICH IS.
GREAT AND THAT THERE MAINTAINING
THEIR LICENSES IS A THAT IS JUST
AMAZING. AND THAT'S SOMETHING
THAT WE SHOULD TRUMPET.
BUT WE ALSO HAVE A PROFESSION
THAT DOESN'T HAVE TO DO.
ANY EDUCATION AS WELL OR
ANYTHING WHILE THEY'RE IN THE
LEGISLATURE TO MAINTAIN THEIR.
JD SO WE HAVE A PROBABLY AN
INCONSISTENCY. THAT THAT WE
OUGHT TO LOOK AT AND SO I
APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT YOU
GUYS ARE WILLING TO AT LEAST
LOOK AT SOME OF THOSE HAS SOME
OF US. IN A PROFESSION ARE
ENJOYING THAT THE THE ISSUES
SO I WOULD DATA.

.
A BIG PIECE LEGISLATION WITH A
LOT OF WORK AND SOMEONE WHO
SUPERVISED.
AND CLINICAL SETTING IN A
MEDICAL SETTING SOMEONE TURNED
OUT PORN IS I DO HAVE ONE SMALL
QUESTION I THINK IT'S WHAT
CLARIFY.
SO IN THIS BILL IN TERMS OF.
REQUIREMENTS FOR THE SUPERVISOR.
.
BASICALLY.
AND ANALYSIS THAT SAYS THAT PCC
MFT CLINICAL PSYCH BECAUSE HE IS
W.. R. COVER OUT STATE LICENSE
SO I DID MY CLARIFY IF SOMEONE
WAS SO YOU HAVE TWO GROUPS HAVE
BASICALLY.
.
AND THEN YOU HAVE PHYSICIANS
SURGEONS WHO ARE CERTIFIED AS A
PSYCHIATRIST.
IF YOU WERE LATE IF YOU'RE NOT
A POSITION THIRTY ONE THE OTHER
CATEGORIES THAT AND YOU HAD OF
OUT OF STATE LICENSE AND YOU
MOVED TO CALIFORNIA.
AND YOU BEEN LICENSED LEAST TWO
YEARS.
CAN YOU THEN IMMEDIATELY
SUPERVISE IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA.
YOU'VE BEEN LICENSE OUR STATE
FOR AT LEAST TWO YEARS.
IT ONCE YOU GET YOUR CALIFORNIA
LICENSE THEN YOU COULD
IMMEDIATELY SUPERVISE.
OKAY NOW IF YOU'RE A PHYSICIAN
AND SURGEON AND YOU'RE LICENSED
OUTSIDE OF THE STATE.
AND THEN YOU MOVE TO CALIFORNIA
YOUR PSYCHIATRIST YOUR BOARD
CERTIFIED PSYCHIATRISTS CAN YOU
SUPERVISE.
AS SOON AS YOU GET LICENSES THAT
CALIFORNIA.
AT IT IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
YES IT'S ONLY BEEN LICENSE TWO
YEARS AT THE STATE.
OKAY AND THAT ALSO CLARIFY IF
YOU DID A YOU ARE DOING HERE
TRAINING. IN ANOTHER STATE.
WHICH DOESN'T UMPS OWNS THE
CALIFORNIA REQUIRE PHYSICIANS TO
GET A FULL LICENSE AFTER THEIR.
BIDE AFTER TO COMPLETE TWO
YEARS OF RESIDENCY SELF PEOPLE
WHO FINISH IN CALIFORNIA HAVE
RAY HAD FULL LICENSE THE
RESIDENCY TRAINING FOR THREE
YEARS SO THEY WOULD QUALIFY BUT.
IN OTHER STATES
I OFTENTIMES.
RESIDENT PHYSICIANS ARE FOLLOWS
UP THAT DO NOT EVEN THOUGH
THEY'VE SPENT FIVE YEARS OF
CLINICAL TRAINING.
FOR GAIN DECIDED TO GET THEIR
CYCLE PSYCHIATRIC A RESIDENCY
AMINATA SO THEY HAVE THEIR OWN
INDIVIDUAL LICENSE BECAUSE
THAT'S THE WAY THOSE STATES RUN
NOW THEY COME TO CALIFORNIA
THEY'VE BEEN BROUGHT OVER TO BE
A FACULTY MEMBER AT UC OR SOME
OTHER UNIVERSITY.
AND ARE HEY ABLE TO THEN. ARE
SUPERVISE.
AS WELL.
THESE A. VIS ASSOCIATES
SO THEY WOULDN'T NECESSARILY
HAVE THEIR OWN PERSONAL FULL
LICENSE FOR TWO YEARS AND THE
OTHER STATE. BUT THEY ARE NOW
BOARD CERTIFIED PSYCHIATRIST AND
THEY NOW CAME CALIFORNIA'S THEY
APPLIED AND RECEIVED THEIR FULL
CALIFORNIA MEDICAL LICENSE.
CAN THEY IN NOW SUPERVISE.
UNDER UNDER THE WAVE OF THE LAW
IS WRITTEN.
THEY WOULD NEED TO HAVE A TWO
YEAR AS A AS A LICENSEE WHETHER
IT'S IN ANOTHER STATE OR IN THE
STATE SO THEY DIDN'T HAVE. A.
OUR AN ACTUAL LICENSE AND NOT
OTHER STATE.
AND THEY WERE NOT QUALIFIED TO
BE A SUPERVISOR UNTIL THEY'VE
BEEN LICENSE SOMEWHERE FOR TWO
YEARS OKAY.
I REALIZE IS A SMALL POINT IS
LARGE AYE I HOPE YOU LOOK AT
THAT BECAUSE.
MEAN WE ARE TALKING ABOUT
PHYSICIANS WHO HAVE RECEIVED.
FIVE YEARS OF CLINICAL.
DEVICE TRAINEE AFTER GETTING AN
ADVANCED DEGREE IN AND THE.
VIA ELEANOR TO TO QUALIFY
BECAUSE THE OF ACTUALLY UP TO BE
CERTIFIED IN PSYCHIATRY SO THAT
THAT THAT BY DEFINITION MEANS
YOU HAD FIVE YEARS OF TRAINING.
CLINICAL TRAINING SUPERVISED
CLINICAL TRAINING AYE AYE.
THAT GET ITS PRIME NOT HUGE PART
OF THE WORK FORCE BUT I YELL AT
FOR SOMEONE WHO'S BEING
RECRUITED OVER WHICH I RETRIEVE
MORE PSYCHIATRISTS OVER THURSDAY
CALIFORNIA. TO.
HIS WHO MAY ACTUALLY HAVE A
VERY EXTENSIVE TRAINING IN
BEYOND THE FIVE YEARS IT MAY BE
A CLUE CHILD PSYCHIATRIST WHICH
MEANS ANOTHER COUPLE YEARS SELF
NOW TALK SEVEN YEARS. AND YET
THEY'RE NOT ALLOWED TO SUPERVISE
AND THE CITY CALIFORNIA THESE
OTHER FOLKS YOU MAY WANT THINK
IF WE CAN MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO
THAT ADDRESS THAT THAT WOULD
PRIDE BE HELPFUL BECAUSE I
THINK.
AGAIN WE WANT TO TRY TO MAXIMIZE
THE USE OF ALL OF OUR MENTAL
HEALTH PROFESSIONALS ESPECIALLY
THOSE WHO ARE ENGAGED AND AND
EDUCATION.

I REMEMBER FOR ASSEMBLYMEMBER
THURMAN. AB FOR FIFTY SIX.
FORGETTING TO.
CLOSING THIS.
TUITION.
GET STARTED IN THE YEAR IT.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER THURMAN WELCOME.
THANK YOU MISTER MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE.
WE PROCEED.
COULD PRESENT A BEFORE FIVE SIX
THIS IS A BILL THAT DEALS WITH
PUBLIC HEALTH.
TO PROVIDE THE CONTEXT IT
ACTUALLY PROVIDES A WAY FOR. ARE
THOSE WHO HAVE A MASTERS IN
SOCIAL WORK AND TO BEGIN.
COUNTY THEIR HOURS TOWARDS
LICENSURE PRIOR TO THE TIME THAT
THEY RECEIVE THEIR OFFICIAL
REGISTRATION.
THE BOARD OF BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES
AS LONG AS THEY APPLY WITHIN
NINETY DAYS GRADUATION UMASS WAS
THAT IMPORTANT. BECAUSE MANY
AGENCIES COMPLETELY THOSE THAT
USE PROGRAMS LIKE MEDICARE TO
PROVIDE CRITICAL MENTAL HEALTH
SERVICES. ODD NEED TO HAVE
SOMEONE WHO ALREADY HAS.
A A REGISTRATION NUMBER IN
ORDER TO COUNT THOSE HOURS
TOWARDS LICENSURE AND FOR THAT
PERSON TO BEGIN.
WITHOUT THE NUMBER THERE ARE
DELAYS IN SERVICE AND THEY'RE
ALSO SET BACKS
FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO HOLD THE
MASSIVE SOCIAL WORK.
I'M WE HAVE ESTABLISHED ADDITION
THAT ALLOWS A CERTAIN
PROFESSIONS LIKE THOSE WHO HAVE
A MASTERS IN FAMILY THERAPY.
TO DO JUST WHAT THE SCHOOL SET
UP TO DO. THIS BILL SIMPLY SETS
OUT TO PROVIDE PARITY AYE AND TO
SAY THAT ARE ALSO THOSE WHO HAVE
A MASSIVE SOCIAL WORK CAN HAVE
THE SAME PRACTICE.
A WITH ME TO PROVIDE EMPHASIS
TODAY ON THIS MATTERS AND WE
HIGGS.
THE SENIOR POLICY ANALYST FOR
SENATE A FAMILY OF AGENCIES
CRYSTAL BLANTON WHO IS A PROGRAM
SUPERVISOR FROM LINCOLN FAMILIES
AND KIM MATS IN THE EXACT
ADDRESS AFTER FOR THE BOARD OF
BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES
ESPECIALLY AS WE ARE ABLE. TO
THANK YOU VERY MUCH ASSEMBLY
MEMBER THURMAN OF WITNESSES IN
SUPPORT.
READING.
I MY NAME IS CRYSTAL BLANTON AND
I WANT TO SPEAK ABOUT MY STRONG
SUPPORT OF ASSEMBLY BILL FOUR
FIFTY SIX.
I AM A PROGRAM MANAGER AT
LINCOLN FAMILIES ONE OF THE
COMMUNITY BASED OR MENTAL HEALTH
ORGANIZATIONS SPONSORING THIS
BILL.
LINCOLN CONTINUES.
TO SERVE OVER FOUR THOUSAND
CHILDREN AND FAMILIES IN CONTRA
COSTA AND ALAMEDA COUNTY. I'M IN
IS DEDICATED TO PROVIDING
QUALITY SERVICES AND HIRING
MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS THAT
REFLECT THOSE THAT WE SERVE.
I AM CURRENTLY AN ASSOCIATE IN
SOCIAL WORK AND A GRADUATE OF
CAL STATE EAST BAY WHO CLASSIC
TWENTY FIFTEEN.
SO SINCE THE LAST TIME I WAS
HERE TO SPEAK ON ASSEMBLY BILL
FOUR FIFTY SIX I HAVE FINALLY
GOTTEN THE GREEN LIGHT TO TAKE
MY LICENSE CLINICAL SOCIAL
WORKER TEST.
IT HAS BEEN TWO YEARS AND SEVEN
MONTHS IN THIS PROCESS SINCE
COMPLETING MY MSW.
PROGRAM.
THE CURRENT REQUIREMENT TO
OBTAIN AN ASW NUMBER FROM THE
BOARD OF BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES
PRIOR TO CLAIMING HOURS TOWARDS
LICENSURE SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACTED
MY OWN PROGRESS.
SINCE THE BOARD OF BEHAVIORAL
SCIENCES REQUIRES AN OFFICIAL
TRANSCRIPT WITH YOUR DEGREE
POSTED. IT MEANS SOMEONE WITH
THEIR MSW IS UNABLE TO GAIN
HOURS FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AFTER
GRADUATING.
THE CAL STATE SYSTEM TAKES
BETWEEN ONE TO THREE MONTHS FOR
YOUR DEGREE TO BE CONFERRED.
WHAT'S YOUR DEGREE IS POSTED YOU
THEN CAN REQUEST YOUR
TRANSCRIPTS.
SEND OFF YOUR APPLICATION ONCE
YOU GET YOUR TRANSCRIPTS AND IT
TAKES ABOUT ONE TO TWO MONTHS
BEFORE THE A. S. W. NUMBER IS
LISTED ON THE WEBSITE. SO THIS
MEANS AN AVERAGE OF TWO TO FIVE
MONTHS OF WAITING BEFORE BIG
BEING ABLE TO COUNT HOURS
TOWARDS YOUR LICENSURE.
IT TOOK ME ABOUT THREE MONTHS.
TOOK FROM GRADUATION TO A SW
NUMBER I LOST ABOUT FOUR HUNDRED
AND EIGHTY HOURS WHILE WAITING.
FOUR HUNDRED AND EIGHTY HOURS
OUT OF THIRTY TWO HUNDRED WE
HAVE TO COLLECT IS PRETTY
SIGNIFICANT.
THIS ALONE DELAYED MY COLLECTION
OF HOURS BY THREE MONTHS
COMPARED TO OTHERS THAT OUR
MARRIAGE AND FAMILY THERAPIST OR
LICENSED PROFESSIONAL SCADA
COUNSELOR TRACKS.
THE IMPACT OF THIS ON MY CAREER
OPPORTUNITIES PROFESSIONAL
DEVELOPMENT INCOME AND
SUBSEQUENTLY AND MY ABILITY TO
REPAY MY STUDENT LOANS WAS
SIGNIFICANT.
IT ALSO MEANS I'M AT A
DISADVANTAGE COMPARED TO OTHER
MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS THAT
ARE CLOSER TO LICENSURE.
GAINING PARITY IN LICENSURE
STANDARDS BETWEEN SOCIAL WORKERS
IN OTHER PROFESSIONAL LICENSE
MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDERS
INCREASES OUR ABILITY TO
CONTINUE TO COULD CONTRIBUTE TO
THE MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSION
OVERALL. LACK OF PARITY IN THIS
AREA DOES NOT MAKE MORE
QUALIFIED SOCIAL WORKERS.
INSTEAD IT JUST PROLONGS OUR
ABILITY TO OBTAIN LICENSE
LICENSURE COMPARED TO OTHER
DISCIPLINES AND DISTANCES US
FROM THE LICENSING OVERSIGHT
PROCESS.
SUPPORT SOCIAL WORKERS IN THEIR
PURSUIT OF LICENSURE BY
INCREASING PARITY AMONG MENTAL
HEALTH PROFESSIONALS AND%
SUPPORTING OUR ABILITY TO THRIVE
AS SOCIAL WORKERS BY ALLOWING AN
EASIER PASSED. THE LICENSING
THANK YOU THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
OTHERS IN SUPPORT.
GOOD AFTERNOON SENATOR HELL AND
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE. MY
NAME IS EMILY HEADS AND I'M A
SOCIAL WORKER WITH SONIC A
FAMILY OF AGENCIES.

A PROVIDER OF CHILDREN'S MENTAL
HEALTH CHILD WELFARE EDUCATION

EIGHTEEN COUNTIES AND WE SERVE
OVER EIGHTEEN THOUSAND KIDS AND
FAMILIES A YEAR.
AND WE EMPLOY CLOSE TO FIVE
HUNDRED MASTERS LEVEL HEALING
ARTS PROFESSIONALS ACROSS OUR
PROGRAMS.
SO YOU ARE WELL FAMILIAR I'M
SURE WITH THE SITUATION AT HAND
WHICH IS THAT WE HAVE A
WORKFORCE SHORTAGE OF A
LICENSED.
I HEALING ARTS PROFESSIONALS IN
THIS STATE. AND ANY OPPORTUNITY
TO FACILITATE INEFFICIENT PATH
TO LICENSURE FOR THESE
PROFESSIONS IS ESSENTIAL AND AN
INCREDIBLE STEP FORWARD.
SO I JUST WOULD LIKE TO.
BUILD ON WHAT CRYSTAL TO SHARED
ABOUT THE PERSONAL IMPACT THIS
BILL WOULD HAVE ON SOCIAL
WORKERS THAT CURRENTLY ARE NOT.
DON'T HAVE THE SAME LAW APPLY
TO THEM AS MFT IS AN LPC SEES.
TO SAY THAT WE'VE.
PARTICIPATED ACTIVELY OVER THE
LAST YEAR AMENDING THIS BILL AB
FOR FIFTY SIX IN ALIGNMENT WITH
AB NINETY THREE.
TO HAVE AND HAVE HAD A VERY
COLLABORATIVE AND I THINK
INCREDIBLY REWARDING EXPERIENCE
ENHANCING THE CONSUMER
PROTECTION ELEMENTS OF WHAT
WE'RE PROPOSING IN THIS BLL.
SIMPLY TO CLARIFY THAT I'M IN
ORDER TO COUNT HOURS GAINED IN
THIS WINDOW OF TIME AFTER
GRADUATION AND BEFORE YOUR ASW
NUMBER. YOU MUST GAIN THAT
EXPERIENCE AND I IN A SETTING
THAT CONDUCTS LIVES AGAIN. SO WE
ARE.
DELIGHTED BY THAT OUTCOME WE
SEE IT AS A STEP FORWARD FOR
BOTH CONSUMER PROTECTION ISSUES
AND SOCIAL WORKERS AND THE
AGENCIES THAT EMPLOY THEM AND
THE FIELD AS A WHOLE. AND FOR
THE KIDS AND FAMILIES WE SERVE
SO WITHOUT THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
CONSIDERATION OF THIS AND WE
URGE YOUR SUPPORT THANK YOU FOR
YOUR TESTIMONY APPRECIATED
OTHERS IN SUPPORT. GIVE YEFIM
CAN MANSON EXECUTIVE OFFICER FOR
THE BORDER BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES.

TO GET THROUGH THE APPLICATIONS
TYPICALLY WHAT'S MISSING IS WHAT
ON THE SPEAKERS HAVE REFERRED TO
IS THE TRANSCRIPTS.

NUMBERS ARE ISSUED IMMEDIATELY
SO IT'S PRETTY MUCH THAT'S WHAT
WAITING FOR. AND IS THERE AN
